Finish ceiling tile

For finishing the ceiling in the apartment or house using a variety of materials, one of such practical materials is tile.Do not think that we are talking about the decoration of the ceiling or ceramic tiles, we’re talking about using tiles made of expanded polystyrene (Styrofoam).
This material is one of the most versatile and available to polaca. Modern building materials market presents a huge selection of such tiles. You can find tiles of different sizes, textures and colors, the shape of the tiles also varies, although the most common is a square shape.
Enumerate, what are the types of tiles for the ceiling design:
Injection .The material for the manufacture of this tile is produced by sintering raw materials for polystyrene blocks.
Extruded (or extruded). Is made directly from polystyrene blocks, the thickness of this tile is 6-8mm.
Extruded. Tile, which is obtained by pressing the extruded polystyrene strips. Then it is painted or is covered with a thin film. The output of the tile has a perfect, smooth surface, plus, she can give a visual appearance of wood, marble or other popular materials.
Tiles for the ceiling can be used in any normal environment and situation, even if the surface is not smooth. The work is not very challenging and not much cutting.
In General, the process of finishing the ceiling tile of expanded polystyrene occurs in several stages:
The choice of the tile and adhesive mixture.
Calculate the number of tiles required for accurate surface finishes.
The preparation of the ceiling to finish.
And the last gluing tiles directly on the ceiling.
Choose the tiles very carefully, as the “story of counterfeit and substandard products just now weight. Tile should be dense and solid, edges and corners of the tiles should be clear. Docking tiles between them should occur as close as possible, the drawing (if present) should be clearly differentiated and viewed, the color of the desired full-bodied and persistent.
Calculate the number of tiles
Ideal for flat rectangular surfaces to calculate the number of tiles is not difficult. Take the total area of the ceiling divided by the area of one tile – get the number of required tiles.
For uneven or irregular surfaces to break the area part by part, to count the approximate number of required tiles.
Training
The process of preparing the surface for gluing tiles involves the alignment and primer the ceiling. To align the use of alibaster, gypsum and other materials. To prepare a flat surface with a special primer or just a normal glue, it is very important to completely clean the ceiling from the previous finishing material.
Once all preparations are complete, you can proceed to pacace tiles. For this You will need liquid nails, a little attention and patience!
